Those Carefree Days Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Those carefree days,
No bonds whatsoever, though in leashes,
Where I could move round the fulcrum
In gay abandonment
Like happy birds in the sky;
I could walk, run and jump,
Even fly
In weightless freedom;
No cares to pindown,
No dark spots, no concern,
All gay and bright like a child's smile;
No thoughts to bother,
No fears of future
And actions met thoughts in perfection;
No deadlines to meet,
No pressures to resist,
But meet all tides as it visit
In perfect leisure.

I felt like sitting on the top of the earth,
1 felt like walking through white clouds in heaven,
I felt light wings raising me to the moon
Where 1 could dream all and attain all that.

No barriers around me,
No fences to any,
No classes to conform,
No standards to measure;
I could see and walk anywhere
Like a pet rabbit;
The world was a huge playground then,
All playful games,
No strains anywhere, no competitions,
But, trust and love filled my world;
I laughed at will,
I shouted mouthful,
I talked and talked to all;
No masters and servants,
No classes bothered me;
I sought sparkles in eyes
To build my bridges
And innocence in smiles
To meet friendship;
I said what I thought
And thought what I said,
I did what I said
And said what I did
In open heart;
I lived like a king,
All my own,
Where none could intrude.

I saw all equal, as they came to the earth,
I saw the world simple, as it always is.

I spoke my heart as simple truth
In all its passions and emotions;
No do's and no donot's
No shames and fears;
No age or sex or state to consider,
Where I stood above all
With my own simple, clear judgements,
which none could dare to contradict;
No heat or rain restrained me,
No knowledge of pain refrained me,
In meeting what I want;
I flew from east to west and north to south
In the same gay mood,
From star to star, I jumped
In playful abandonment;
I laughed a day and wept next day
In full blast to the pressures of heart,
With no cause or reason behind
And no pressures to account.

The carefree days did light my spirit
To candescent glow of pure morning rays;
The carefree days did raise my spirit
To formless deep pleasure of clam enlightenment.
